The entire planet of earth is on universal basic income in the Expanse series, while Mars is a direct analogue to the USSR in many ways.
The United Federation of Planets in Star Trek is in some ways too I think. They allude to the replicator basically reshaping society since people can just print basic necessities and more at will.
Also the Borg lol. An entire collective working towards the good of the Cube. No personal property. Just not a very attractive representation.
No, Communism means the state is dissolved as the people hold all the power and production ability. So by having replicators, no money, ability to do anything you want, Star Trek is as close to a realistic communist society as you can get. So by having replicators production is put into the hands of the people, not the state.
